Small
to large enterprises and service providers can now accelerate across any
workload, budget and service level both on-premises and off

SINGAPORE –May 25, 2017– Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)
today announced a comprehensive flash portfolio update with new products and
data protection solutions designed to help customers continue their journey to
an all- flash data center. The new offerings include:

·A more powerful midrange
HPE 3PAR StoreServ 9450 all-flash array

·Availability of Nimble
Storage primary and new secondary flash arrays

·Affordable fifth
generation HPE MSA Storage

·High-speed,
cloud-connected StoreOnce data protection

The adoption of flash storage continues to gain pace, with 51
percent of customers[1]predicting that they will have an
All-Flash Data Centerwithin
five years. It’s not just enterprises, smaller companies
are also adopting flash as prices come down. At the same time, IT teams
are seeking deeper integration across servers, storage, networks, and
automation tools to maximize value from investments.

Leading All-Flash price-performance and density across multiple
segments

Data growth and app development in the data center is expanding
exponentially and putting pressure on IT to consolidate more data on less
infrastructure while also evaluating the right mix of on-premises and
off-premises investments. To address these demands, HPE is updating its overall
flash portfolio including the addition of cloud-ready Nimble Storage flash
arrays powered by predictive analytics for a new-style approach to storage
support and monitoring.

For midrange customers hitting performance limits of aging
systems, HPE 3PAR is redefining expectations with the newHPE3PAR StoreServ 9450,a highly scalable, multi-tenant, and performance rich
all-flash platform that builds on the product family’s number one position in
the midrange fibre channel.[2]To enable
the consolidation of more data in less space without compromising service
levels, HPE is increasing performance 70 percent, doubling scale to 6PB, and
enabling 3X the front-end connectivity with 80 host ports.[3] This new,
more powerful member of the 3PAR family enables consistent and predictable
performance at less than half the cost of EMC VMAX 250F[4]and supports consolidation of both
block and file workloads.For those considering long-term investment strategies,
the 3PAR StoreServ 9450 also provides a futureproof path to next generation
Storage Class Memory and NVM Express (NVMe) usingHPE 3PAR 3D Cache.

HPE is also unveiling the fifth generation of its entry SAN
platform, HPE MSA, starting with the introduction ofHPE MSA 2050 and 2052models. MSA has been the leading entry
fibre channel array for eight years[5]and now delivers 2x more performance
than the previous generation starting under $10,000[6]. With
all-inclusive software and 1.6 terabytes of solid-state disk (SSD) capacity
included, the newHPE MSA 2052offers a 40 percent cost savings[7]on hybrid flash models. Both MSA
platforms are affordable starting points for application acceleration providing
flexibility to mix any combination of SSD and SAS drives plus including
resiliency features such as snapshots and remote replication.

Flash-optimized protection now cloud-ready and 15x faster

With the scale and speed of flash storage becoming pervasive
it’s critical that customers re-think data protection to avoid risk and
eliminate bottlenecks – this includes taking advantage of public cloud to
achieve the right mix of Hybrid IT. As part of that shift, HPE has
federated primary, secondary, and object storage to enable zero-impact data
protection while putting backup data to work.

For customers exploring public-cloud tiers for secondary data,
HPE announcedStoreOnce
CloudBank, a long-term data retention solution that provides significantly
lower cost protection on multi-cloud destinations such as AWS, Azure or on
premises object storage. Unlike many cloud backup solutions, StoreOnce
CloudBank has been architected to reduce bandwidth requirements by over 99
percent, helping to lower costs of cloud-based storage to just $0.001 per
gigabyte per month. The solution also supports the full set of on-premises
StoreOnce features, including 3PAR integration, so customers can automatically
transition data off-premises while assuring rapid and flexible disaster
recovery.

As HPE 3PAR flash customers seek to rapidly protect larger and
larger data sets,HPE Recovery
Manager Central(RMC)already provides the fastest possible
protection of applications running on 3PAR by directly connecting to secondary
StoreOnce data protection systems through patented block-level
integration. RMC is part of 3PAR’s all-inclusive licensing model and has
now been enhanced with a new Express Restore feature, which enables 15x faster
data recovery[8]from on-prem or off-prem StoreOnce
repositories. RMC has also now been integrated with Veeam Explorer so
customers can recover application items such as e-mails, documents and database
schemas directly from RMC-V Express Protect backups.

Many customers moving to an all-flash datacenter are looking for
ways to maximize return on those investments. For some that includes changing
how they utilize data stored as backup copies. The newNimble Secondary Flash Array(SFA) allows customers to put their
backup and copy data to work for secondary applications. The system brings
together always-on deduplication and compression to lower capacity costs for
backup with flash-optimized performance and zero-copy cloning to run production
workloads like dev/test, QA and analytics.
